I believe strong communities—and meaningful lives—are built through service, curiosity, and a willingness to listen. Whether I’m working on local policy, volunteering alongside neighbors, or helping someone plan a once-in-a-lifetime trip, my guiding principle is the same: leave things better than you found them.

​

I’m proud to serve on the Wallingford Town Council, where I work collaboratively across perspectives to make thoughtful, responsible decisions that support our town’s growth while honoring what makes it special. Wallingford has a unique energy—rich history, vibrant local businesses, and a deeply connected community—and my goal is to help steward that forward so the next generation inherits a town that’s even stronger and more welcoming.

​

Service doesn’t stop at the council table. As Secretary of the Wallingford Rotary Club, I’m guided by the idea of service above self—bringing people together, strengthening community ties, and turning good intentions into meaningful action.

Most recently, I’ve brought that same spirit into travel planning. Having explored Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Canada, Alaska, and much of Western Europe, I believe travel is one of the best teachers we have. Experiencing other cultures deepens empathy, broadens perspective, and often helps us return home with a renewed appreciation for our own communities.

​

At the heart of everything I do is a belief in collaboration, respect for differing viewpoints, and a bit of lightheartedness along the way—because a shared laugh makes even the hardest work feel easier.
